[quote=Anonymous]SMBC to 2 kids.  I love our family.  Only my father is alive and he lives with us too.  He was a hands off father when I was a child and this did not change when his grandkids were born.  At this point I have 3 kids.  It's ok.

One of the differences between my situation and either a dual parent household or a divorced household is that I understood going in it's all on me.  I'm not looking to someone else to take the mental load and then being angry/frustrated/disappointed that it didn't turn out the way I want.

Some things that made this possible---I was 10 yrs into the SFH when I got pregnant.  Having a small mortgage helps immensely.  I had a WFH job since my oldest was born--that flexibility was/is amazing.  Daycare was walkable from the house which made pickup/drop off easy.  Decent salary--I made over 100 when I got pregnant and it's gone up from there.

So is it fair to a future child?  I think that question can be asked about other situations as well.  If one parent always travels, is that fair?  If both parents don't have the ability to provide  a stable home life, is that fair?  If one parent is not willing to accept the child they have, is that fair?[/quote]
